BRUSH FOR GREASING GRIDDLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 227,235, dated May 4,1880.

Application led March 22, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be. it known that I, ELIZABETH FORD, acitizen of the United States, residing at Pellville, in the county otHancock and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Brushes for Greasing Griddles; and I do herebydeclare-the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markedthereon, which form a partot' this specification.

This invention has for its object to provide an improved griddle-greaserfor domestic purposes. This object I accomplish by the mechanismillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichl Figure l representsa detached view of' a portion of my device, partly in section and partlyin elevation. Fig. 2 represents a viewr in elevation of a portion of mydevice. Fig. 3 represents a section on the line x x of Fig. 2. Fig. Arepresents a horizontal section of a detached part of the device; andFig. 5 represents a view of the exterior vessel, partly in section andpartly in elevation.

The letter A indicates a tube of metal or o ther material, split lon gitudinally and adapted to contain a llin g, B, otbrous strandsorlampwick, as shown. The said tube has a certain amount of elasticityand is adapted to be se- (No model.)

cured in a tube, (l, by Which it is compressed around the filling B, soas to securethe same. The tube Ois adapted to'hold a quantity of lard orother grease, which is carried by capillary attraction of the wick tothe outer end of the same, so that the lard or grease may be applied toa griddle or other article by brushingthe exposed end ofthe filling overthe same.

The letter E indicates a vessel provided with a hinged cover, F, havingan opening through which the tube O may be inserted when the cover isclosed. The said vessel is adapted to contain lard or other similarmaterial, by means of' which the end of the tilling may be properlysupplied independently of the charge of material in the tube O.

As the lling becomes Worn at the end it may be withdrawn from time totime, thus providing a fresh portion thereofl so long as any of thematerial remains.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- The combination of thesplit tube A, carrying a capillary lling, with the tube O, forcontaining lard or other material, substantially as specied.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

ELIZABETH FORD.
